Our Verdict
Exercise strong caution when considering this 2007 Chrysler 300; despite recent MOT passes, its history of multiple critical failures and high mileage make it a risky purchase.
Start by reviewing the full service history to confirm that any work carried out after the 2015‑2017 MOT failures was performed by a reputable garage using quality parts. Verify that the recent oil leak advisory has been addressed and that the tyres have been replaced or are within legal tread depth.
Before purchase, have a qualified mechanic inspect the front and rear brake pipes for corrosion, test the brake and parking brake efficiency, and check for any play in the steering rack, suspension bushes, ball joints and shock absorbers – all known weak points from the earlier failures. Also examine the underbody for rust, confirm all wheel nuts are present and correctly torqued, and ensure the washer fluid system functions correctly.
The 2.987 cc diesel engine typically delivers around 35‑38 mpg (≈7.5 L/100 km), which at an average annual mileage of 12,000 mi translates to roughly £1,200‑£1,500 in fuel costs. Road tax for a diesel over 2.5 L is higher, currently about £150 per year, and insurance for a 2007 300 diesel falls in group 15‑18, costing approximately £600‑£800 per year.
Routine maintenance – including oil and filter changes, fuel filter replacement and occasional brake service – is expected to add £300‑£400 per year. Factoring in these items, the estimated total annual running cost is £800‑£1,200.
Inspect the oil leak source (advisory 8.4.1) and ensure it is minor; check the engine oil level and look for fresh leaks after a short drive. Examine tyre tread depth and side‑wall condition, especially the near‑side tyres that have repeatedly been noted as worn close to the legal limit.
Pay close attention to the braking system – the MOT history shows corroded front brake pipes (advisory 1.1.11(c) and 3.6.B.2c) and previous failures of brake efficiency and parking brake. Verify that brake pads, discs and the parking brake mechanism are in good condition and that there is no excessive play in the steering rack or suspension components such as bushes, ball joints and shock absorbers, which have failed in earlier tests.
Finally, check the underbody for rust, especially around the under‑trays and chassis rails, confirm all wheel nuts are present and securely tightened, and test the washer fluid system to ensure it supplies adequate liquid.
The 2007 Chrysler 300 diesel has accumulated 249,524 miles and recently passed its 2025 MOT with only minor oil leak and tyre wear advisories. However, the vehicle's MOT history shows four failures between 2015 and 2017, including serious brake, steering and suspension deficiencies, indicating potential underlying reliability problems. While the diesel engine offers reasonable fuel economy, the high mileage and past critical issues reduce its overall value and long‑term reliability.
Although no aggregate data exists for the Chrysler‑Jeep 300, its MOT history shows frequent failures in brakes, steering and suspension, suggesting below‑average reliability for this model.
